Originally posted by THE Slayer Do canadian dvd's play on usa players,, all this talk about regions. Some one make it clear for the moron in us all.

Yes, they work in U.S. players. Canada is Region 1, the same as the U.S. There are currently 8 regions (9 with non-region discs, also known as Region 0). To play discs from other regions, you need a multi-region player. Here is the regions breakdown.

Somebody once did a study on the effects of cable television on the culture regarding the fact that most people over the age of 50 have experienced the whole of television over the span of their lives whereas young people between the ages of 5-15 have experienced the exact same amount of television in just a few years. It was an very interesting and enjoyable study but I can't remember who did it. I've been meaning to purchase a DVD player. I don't know how often I would use it though. What exactly is Region7 for?

Re: 80's TV/Movie cable network

Originally posted by Exhaust Port With all the interest in the popular culture of the 80's, I was thinking how great it would be to have an 80's cable channel completely devoted to the decade. I realize that we already have TVLand but that's not specific enough. I want to see 24 hours of our favorite TV shows and movies. Saturday mornings would be filled with the cartoons we remember from our childhood. There are so many shows, movies and commericals from that decade that would be awesome to see regularly that I'd pay to have it pumped into my house.

EP-
I could not agree with you more! 80's TV 24/7, including all the commercials! Some of my fave 80's commercials were Life cereal(Mikey) and Slinky.

would love a station on TV devoted to the 80's that would be awesome... i miss those classic shows from back in the day... sign me up if this ever happens... I'll become a permenant couch potato and be glued to the set 24/7

Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

You'd probably like RTV then. Its one of those digital broadcast sub-channels that have popped up in recent years. Its offered nationwide (like This TV, WSTV, etc.), though it isn't available in every broadcast area. Programming wise its very similar to TV Land in premise, though most of its programming appears to come from the late 1980's/early 1990's (with a few from the 1950's). They even plan on launching a Saturday children's block by the end of September that deals with nothing but retro kid's shows/cartoons.
